The music video for “Jesus Walks” by Kanye West, directed by Chris Milk, features a series of vignettes that depict the rapper’s struggle with faith and his search for redemption. The video opens with a shot of a crucifix being carried through a city street, followed by scenes of West rapping in a prison yard and a group of angels watching over him as he performs. Throughout the video, West is shown engaging in various forms of physical and spiritual struggle, such as wrestling with a man in a Ku Klux Klan hood and carrying a heavy wooden cross through a barren landscape. The video’s use of religious imagery and its depiction of West as a conflicted, vulnerable figure helped make it a critical and commercial success when it was released in 2004, and it remains a landmark entry in the rapper’s catalog of music videos.
